I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on wedges for someone who is under a 10 handicap, who is improving, and who spins the ball a lot. I've tried the CG wedges and the Spin Milled Vokeys and i absolutely hate them. From the fairway, my ball will land behind the flag and roll all the way down to the front of the green. What about forged wedges? My wedges are only 2 years old, but i play over 150 rounds a year, so they get worn down pretty quickly. Anything about Miura Wedges? Any info is appreciated.

I can't say enough good things about the Z TP's.

Although I guess you're looking for LESS spin, so I don't know.

i'm not saying im looking for less spin, im trying to get the point across that i dont need the zip grooves or the spin milled grooves to stop the ball on the green. Ive head nothing but good things about those taylormade wedges, they are definently in the running.

I would think these new wedge grooves are bad for you. You can blame the wedge or blame the ball... I prefer to blame the ball.

Do you play Prov's by any chance?

Some players have a more natural shot then others that begs for spin

If your swing speed is high and your swing plane makes you spin it, why not just go with a less "spinny" ball?

I have a Srixon wedge and it's pretty nice. It doesn't really have the greatest bite but I'm accurate with it.

BINGO! Easier that way.

Miura wedges are very costly. If you play so often then you're better off with regular wedges (unless $$$ is not a problem for you). Try the 200 series Vokey instead of Spin Milled version if you're going "wedge change" route.

Its all about feel. Try a bunch out at a shop and see which ones feel the best. Callaway, Cleveland, and Vokeys are all at the top of the game if you ask me.

Google "Wilson Staff Wedges."

The new forged wedges are damn near exact to the old Dyna Powers and they come in all of the trendy loft and bounce combinations.

The problem is not with your wedges, it is with you. You need to work on your technique a bit and change balls. You must be playing on very soft greens. As for "forged wedges", what difference could they possibly make? Methinks you are trying to compliment yourself in a backhanded manner, complaining about this accursed ability to spin the ball which so many players boast about. I think your "problem" is a plea for praise, and I don't believe you anyway. If it were true you would have changed to a Top Flite ages ago.

I have a similar problem - I can't seem to hit the ball less than 320 yards and I'm constantly running of fairway on slight doglegs. My ball only flies dead straight. Is there a driver out there which can solve my problem?

As are Vokeys and Clevelands. Don't read too much about touring pros having this curse.
